# About

Confused Robot is a blog on technical topics of interest to people who build systems for operating software services. If you've ever been asked to "just set up an ELK stack" but aren't quite sure what that entails, Confused Robot has your back. Lots of other sites will list the specific keystrokes you should type into your shell to install any given piece of software. Confused Robot takes a step back to try and evaluate the situations where it makes sense to use a particular tool and how best to set it up for autonomous operation.
